This is where the plate goes. If you stare at it long enough it starts rotat­ing to the right. I imag­ine the gar­den on the car­pet doing the same. This makes it a plan­et. I am fly­ing above the city, spin­ning. Then… the Baboon is, upset. He is pick­ing at the post and his leath­ery bot­tom sits on the branch, which he has worn down. His tail hang­ing limply, not like a branch, more like a rope. Then the oth­er mon­keys, espe­cial­ly the young ones are say­ing, “share with me”! share with me! In the car­pet you can see a plant with a huge eye, and if you stare long enough into it, the pot and the bird emerge.

Med­i­tat­ing rumi­nat­ing cows. They con­tem­plate the meta­mor­pho­sis of the light from dis­tant cos­mic tex­ture into the mater. But the cow did not keep this knowl­edge to her­self. She deliv­ers the ben­e­fits with her milk. (Zurich, Switzer­land, in the Spring of 1919) from The Invis­i­ble Worm That Flies In The Night., 2011
